Few stories inspire the kind of passion and devotion shown by the fans of Joss Whedon's "Firefly." The short-lived sci-fi western followed Capt. Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his crew as they stole and scavenged their way across the universe, trying to keep their raggedy spaceship Serenity afloat. "Firefly" was canceled a decade ago, but support for the show has spawned a movie sequel, comic series, packed comic convention panels and now a one-hour reunion special on Science Channel.
"Firefly: Browncoats Unite" features a roundtable discussion with cast members Fillion, Summer Glau, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin and Sean Maher and writers Tim Minear and Jose Molina, as well as separate interviews with Jewel Staite, Gina Torres and Morena Baccarin. The discussion reveals closely guarded plans for the second season that never was, including a child for Zoe (Torres) and Wash (Tudyk), more dastardly deeds for Jayne (Baldwin) and a brutal attack on Inara (Baccarin). The documentary special airs Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT following an all-day "Firefly" marathon on Science Channel, but fans can unlock several additional videos from the interview by tweeting "#FireflyNov11" to the handle @ScienceChannel.
One of "Firefly's" most memorable characters was Simon Tam (Maher), the doctor who abandoned a successful career to rescue his sister, River (Glau). Simon serves as Serenity's tether to the civilized world, and his moral code and mysterious past land the crew in several places and situations they'd rather avoid. Hero Complex caught up with Maher to talk about Simon, "Firefly" and what's next for Serenity.

HC: What was it like to reunite for this anniversary special?
SM: We were sort of poking fun at it because it's not really a reunion for us because we see each other all the time. The cast especially, we've stayed in very close contact. I consider them my family at this point. When we're all in the same city, Capt. Nathan is usually the ringleader who will organize get-togethers, but I would see Jewel and Morena a lot on my own. When we're all in the same place, we do our best to get together, and we stay in touch otherwise. It was really lovely. I hadn't seen Tim Minear probably in a good six years, and for me that was just remarkable. I forgot how much love I have for that man. And it was just nice. When we get together, we don't always sit around a table and talk about the show, and so to be placed in that environment and to have somebody [Entertainment Weekly writer Jeff Jensen] ask the questions and spark our memories to talk about the show was really lovely. We always talk about the show when we do these conventions, but the fan questions are a little different. The moderator was kind of encouraging conversation. It was emotional. I was surprised at how emotional we all got, especially in San Diego.
HC: Is that sort of relationship among cast members unusual?
SM: I think for everyone to stay in touch the way we stay in touch, I think that's very unusual. I have friends from work that I had done previous to "Firefly" that I still am quite close with, or an actress I had worked with last year who has now become one of my closest friends, so it's not unusual to create these bonds, but I think it's pretty phenomenal for us all to jell. I really feel like that's what really drew people to the show. There was a chemistry between the actors that you saw as the characters, and there was no denying it, and there was no getting around it. It was just so palpable. That really was the case, on screen and off screen. And so I do think that, for everyone to sort of be in the same soup, so to speak, is rare.
HC: Which came first? Did your experience on "Firefly" help develop the bond, or did the bond between people make the experience?
SM: For me, it was the people. It was instantaneous. Starting a new job is always scary, or at least for me it's always scary. It's like the first day of school. Am I going to make any friends, are people going to like me, am I going to get fired, am I going to do what the producers want of me? And there's so much fear involved and jitters. With "Firefly," a lot of it was Joss, because it was my first experience that when I stepped on a set, and there was just one man, and his name was Joss Whedon, and he was so accessible and so laid back, and there weren't all the looming studio executives and network executives standing by video village, watching the monitors, making sure that we get what we needed to get. That's always very nervous-making. So when you have just Joss Whedon kind of leading you through your process, that kind of peels away all of these layers of fear, and then you're with this group of people, and there was not one person that didn't get along. We certainly had dynamics, like any family does; there's sort of like the bickering brothers, the paternal, the youngest in the group. There's all these dynamics within the family circuit, but we were all this family unit, and it was really lovely. And before we got into the nitty gritty work of the pilot, we had the read-throughs and we were getting to know each other, and I think it was instantaneously a connection between ourselves as people and as artists. I can't think of a group of people who I respect them all as people and as actors. I was so, so, so grateful to be in their company. And from there, Joss will say that he watched us as actors and started to write from what he was seeing off-screen. And we didn't know that that was going on until a few episodes down the road, but he was watching us hanging out in between takes or hanging out in our trailers, and we were all doing game nights after work, and there was just sort of these dynamics, and I think Joss drew from that to further create these characters, and everything just came from such an organic place.

HC: What drew you to the role of Simon?
SM: When I read it, I was living in New York, and my agent came over one evening to my loft, and we went over a list of the upcoming pilots for this year, and he got to the Joss Whedon, and he was like, "Oh, and there's the new Joss Whedon, and it's on Fox, and nah, it's sci-fi." And I think back to that conversation as such a generalization of what that show was. And he was like, "But it's Joss Whedon. You should look at it." And I was like, "Great, I'd love to read the script." And he said, "Well, there is no script." And I was like, "Huh?" But there were the sides, and the sides were, in the pilot episode, Simon has this whole speech where he tells everybody sort of the back story of his sister, and how he ended up on the ship. It's a chunky bit of dialogue, and that's the only thing I had to go on, but that alone, I was like, "Wow, this is something really special." Obviously in that speech is Simon's love, dedication, all the sacrifices he made for his sister's well-being, and I was drawn to that immediately. But then when I ended up in L.A., and met with Joss for "Firefly," and there still was no script, obviously my first question was, "Please tell me about the story." And then I just sat there and just listened to him, for 15, 20 minutes, tell me about this world that he created. And to hear it from his mouth, for me, was what sealed the deal. And I remember I left that audition, and I called my agent, and I said, "I know there's no script, and I know we were kind of pussy-footing around this whole sci-fi thing, but I love this man, and I want to work for him. I don't know him, and he's kind of goofy and quirky, but there's just something about him." It was just like an instant, I want, I want, I want, I want to be working with him. So it was a little bit of everything, a little bit of the character from the snippets of the sides, and then meeting Joss, that I was just like, "Oh my goodness gracious, what an extraordinary man." Everyone knows he's a genius, but he's also just, I always use the word "accessible." There's no guard up with him. He's of course now a dear friend and a mentor, and I love him dearly, but when I first met him, it was just so easy with him, and that's exciting for an actor because you feel creatively uninhibited. So you feel safe, and then all these layers of fear are removed, and you can go full steam ahead, and he helps steer you in the right direction.
HC: What was your audition like?
SM: It was pretty standard. I auditioned that one time. You audition and then you go and do what's called a test, your network test. So you have to go in front of the network and do it, and the network has to sign off on you. So the network wasn't for a few weeks, and I was still out in L.A. going on other auditions, but I had "Firefly" in the back of my mind. I kept saying, "Mmm, I'm not sure about this other pilot, because I really, really, really want 'Firefly,'" and everyone was saying to me, "Well, if 'Firefly' doesn't work out, you're really going to let these other opportunities go?" And I'm like, "I think I'm gonna take that risk, yeah. I feel so good about this one." Granted, Spielberg wasn't knocking down my door or anything. But it was pilot season, so I was pretty busy, but I was reading all these other pilots, and being like, "Yeah, I'm not feeling this one as much as 'Firefly,'" and "Eh, I'm not really going to go after this one because I've got my heart set on 'Firefly.'" And in the interim, the script surfaced, which was remarkable. And then two weeks later we had the network test, so I just needed to go and read for Fox, but I was supposed to test for another pilot as well that I liked, and they were testing on the same exact day. So I was supposed to go in and do my "Firefly" test, and then leave the room, and then hang out, and then go in and do the test for the other show. And they said to me, "Listen, here's what we're going to do. We're going to have you test for both shows, and then give you the verdict. Because if you test for 'Firefly' and you don't get it, we don't want it to affect your second test." And I said, "Yeah, yeah, that's a great idea, because I don't want to know until we're all done." So I went in and tested for "Firefly," and then I came back out, and we were waiting. And they said, "I'm sorry, Sean, can you come back in?" And I'm like, "Oh, God, what did I do?" And I go back in, and there are 20, 25 network executives, and there's Joss, and I'm standing there sweating bullets. And Joss is like, "I'm gonna have to ask you to do it one more time…" And I'm like, "OK, OK, what do you need, what do you need?" And he's like, "… on set!" And then we hear all this, "Yeah!" and everybody's clapping their hands, and I'm like, "No, shh, shh," because there are other actors outside in the hall who are testing for the same part, and I don't want to hurt their feelings.… It was fun. But he says he really took his time to feel us out as people. There are so many actors, and so many great actors, and he saw a lot of wonderful, wonderful actors come in and read for this role, but he really had his feelers out for people, and I think that again goes back to the whole, "Of course, that makes so much sense," because it was such a beautiful group of people who were just so open and loving and amazing, and my hats off to Joss for every little detail of why this show became what it became. I think it was him.
HC: In the show, you work closely with Summer Glau. How did you develop that relationship?
SM: It was so perfect because Summer, it was pretty much her first job, and I had this sort of protective thing with her that was perfect for Simon and River, and I loved, loved, loved, loved every time I got to work with her. I felt like the work we were doing was so — I just loved the connection that we had, and there was a protective nature that I had toward her as an actor, and I think that's exactly what people felt when they saw the beginnings of the Simon-and-River relationship. She was really nervous and scared, and it was like her first big anything, and she was just like, "Oh, I don't know what I'm doing," and I was like, "Are you kidding? You're doing really extraordinary work, and let's just keep doing it." That was one of the easiest character relationships for me to find. I just love her.
HC: Did you know the secrets your characters would have known? How much back story were you aware of at the time?
SM: Just a little bit of the bond that he and his sister had was first and foremost, and obviously my medical history and my schooling, and the career that I had that I dropped everything for to save her, I was aware of that. But I still wasn't privy to everything that had been done to her. I think we were still trying to figure that out, and trying to go down that road to see what exactly was done to her when she was away.

HC: One of the coolest parts of the Science special is hearing the cast talk about what they knew about the plans for their characters in Season 2. What can you tell us about what would have happened with Simon?
SM: You know, I don't know specifically, but I just know the direction we were going with him. Obviously we were trying to loosen him up a little bit, and he'd be more a part of the crew, and he would get his hands dirty a little more. And, you know, roughen him up a little more around the edges. But in terms of specific story lines, I wasn't sure. I think, obviously, the story with River, we'd figure out what had gone on, and we would be safe, but I think we would probably choose to stay on the ship. I knew that was happening. But I mean, there was sort of like a slow transformation that Joss was doing. With my clothing alone, even just down to like the colors of what I was wearing were less Alliance and more of the crew. So there was sort of a slow evolution, but we never really got there 100%.
HC: Do you ever worry that your continued association with this show has held you back? Do you find it difficult to break free of the character?
SM: Oh gosh, no, not at all. I don't think so. Especially within our industry, it's interesting, because there are the "Firefly" fans who are incredibly loyal, and there are so many of them, and they know every nook and cranny of the show, and their heart is with us wherever we go. But when I walk into a meeting or an audition for another project, most of the time, people don't really know what "Firefly" is. It's usually like people either know it and they love it, or they've never heard of it. And I was talking to somebody else about the "Rent" phenomenon, an actor from "Rent" who was saying somebody asked her, "Oh my gosh, how does it feel to be part of this thing?" And she was like, "You know, it's this thing to a certain number of people, and there are these other people, you walk down the street, and they don't know what 'Rent' is, they don't know the songs, they don't know anything about it." So it's interesting. But when I do get recognized, I get recognized usually for "Firefly." One time I did walk into an audition for a pilot, and the character couldn't have been farther from Simon, and the producer was like, "I just have to say before you do anything, I'm the hugest 'Firefly' fan, and your work is extraordinary, and anyway, go ahead." And then I go and audition. And I got the role, but I didn't feel like he necessarily felt me only as Simon. I actually haven't had any roles like Simon.

HC: And you actually play the villain — Don John — in "Much Ado About Nothing." What was that like?
SM: Sooo fun. So fun. It was my first time ever. It was my first villain. I mean, I've auditioned for villains before, and I've just had the best time, but…
HC: You look so nice.
SM: But aren't those the best villains, though? That's what I just love. I loved with Don Jon, he wasn't just a mean guy, he was super calculating and manipulative and so seemingly earnest to your face, all the while he's got this whole other deceptive plan for you, and that was so fun for me…. "Much Ado About Nothing," it literally was an email. Joss was like, "Hey, this is what I'm doing. What sayeth you?" And I was like, "Oh my God, yes! Yes, yes yes!" And now this movie's taken on a life of its own.
HC: You have two young children. Are you planning to show them "Firefly"?
SM: Of course I will. My son is 2 1/2 and my daughter is 5 1/2. She knows. I've shown her the box set, and she's met Morena and Jewel and Nathan and Alan. And Joss. We keep it simple. She knows there was a show that I worked on. It was funny, we were stuck in traffic the other day, and I was on Pico near the Fox lot, and there was our soundstage, and right outside where my trailer used to be. I rolled down the window, because we were in bumper-to-bumper, and I just took a picture. And she was like, "What are you taking a picture of?" And I was like, "That used to be my home."
HC: I know it's not likely, but it seems that now that Joss is getting so much recognition, that if there was ever a time for a "Serenity" sequel … plenty of fans are hoping.
SM: You know, I'm one of those people. When I see him, I'm like, "I don't get it. Aren't you like king of the world right now? Can't you do anything? And I know we can't do another show. I get that. A television show would be very tricky with all of our availability, and I don't think that's in the realm of possibility. But what about another movie? You just shot 'Much Ado About Nothing' in 12 days. You're kind of amazing at that. You made that happen." I wish I could wrap my head around it a little more. So when people ask me if there's another one, I say, "You know, I don't think so, but I don't know, and I kind of don't understand why."
MORE: Joss Whedon's favorite 'verse? Firefly.
HC: What is it about this world that unites fans the way it does?
SM: I feel like it was such a universal show, there was something for everyone. People have all their favorite characters, and there's a character for everybody to call their favorite. And it was so unique. I still have not seen anything quite like it. And I do think there's something about the fact that it was taken away. There's a loyalty to something that's snatched away before it's time. I don't know. It's a tragedy in some ways, and that brings people together. If the show had gone on for seven, eight, nine years and then got canceled, would there still be this sort of phenomenon of a fan base? Probably. But I do think there is something to be said for something that's taken away before its time, that people feel that they want to fight for. By celebrating it and coming together, and with all the conventions and all the Browncoats, it's almost like what Joss says; the story does live. It goes on, and we owe that all to the fans.
HC: It's unbelievable that 10 years after this show was canceled, it's getting so much love and attention and conventions and this reunion special. Is it strange for you to still be talking about a project that's so far in your rearview mirror?
SM: It was so funny. San Diego was crazy, but you know, Joss was there. In New York it was me and Jewel, and Nathan surprised us. But Jewel and I were standing backstage before our panel, and we're looking out in the audience, and we were like, "Oh, it's so empty!" And we were like, "Oh, that makes sense, that's OK. It will be fun anyway. It's all right." And then we checked back 10 minutes later, and it was packed with only standing room, and apparently there were thousands and thousands of people who were still trying to get in, who had waited. And just when we had a moment of, "That's OK, it will be a small panel, but we'll have fun, and it totally makes sense — it's been 10 years. C'mon, who wants to talk about it anymore?" But then it just became again this huge event. It surprises me every single time. Every convention that I go to, especially if I'm there alone, and there are other actors, and I'm the only "Firefly" actor, and I show up to my "Firefly" panel thinking, "Oh, it's just little old me. Nobody's going to come hear me talk." And then nobody can get in. People are just waiting and waiting and waiting. I'm just so grateful. I was talking to Nathan about that in San Diego. We're just so grateful to be first of all part of the show, but being part of the show made us part of the Whedonverse, and to be considered a Whedonite, it's a title I wear well, and I'm so proud of it, and I'm so grateful, and I feel so blessed.
HC: What do you have coming up?
SM: I wrapped a couple of movies. Ironically enough, they have the same name. Well, similar names. One's called "Best Friends Forever," and one's called "BFFs." They're very different movies. "Best Friends Forever" is like an apocalyptic "Thelma and Louise." Two best friends are taking a road trip, and unbeknownst to them, there's an apocalypse going on, and they're not aware of it, so they're kind of traveling cross-country and finding their way through a disaster. It's a really interesting take. It's a smaller film that they wrote themselves — Brea Grant and Vera Miao — and it was so smart of them to write the story so all the apocalyptic, disaster stuff is not on screen, it's happening in our imaginations, and it's focused more on the road trip and the bond between the girls. And the other one, "BFFs" — they'll probably change the title — it's sort of a romantic comedy about two friends, one of them gets a gift certificate to a weekend away for a couples retreat given to her by her mom for her birthday, even though her boyfriend has dumped her five months prior. So she and her best friend go to this couple's retreat, and they pretend to be lesbians. And it's pretty hysterical. It's been a while since I laughed so hard. The two girls — Andrea Grano and Tara Karsian — wrote, starred in and produced it. It was a blast. Again, small movie, very short shoot, but I had a great time.

Tighter security considered for Connecticut colleges
HARTFORD -- The horrific shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School may result in tighter security at Connecticut's colleges and technical schools.
The Legislature's Higher Education Committee on Tuesday moved a bill to the House that would require colleges and technical schools to form threat assessment teams and evaluate their security systems.
The bill also directs the state's community and technical colleges to consider replacing campus security with an official police force.
"These times require us to change the way we do business," said state Sen. Steve Cassano, D-Manchester.
Cassano said there was a gun threat several weeks ago at Manchester Community College.
"It was reported to 911, but campus security didn't know for 7 minutes. We are now doing an assessment. (The school) has a police force that needs to function as a police force and we want to make sure the resources are there to do the job. I think these assessments will help us move forward," Cassano said.
The bill approved Tuesday would direct all colleges, universities and technical schools to submit a security plan by September to the state Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
The plan would include procedures to identify at-risk students and recognize and respond to students who may be at risk to themselves or others.
By January 2014, each school would have to form a threat assessment team, and the security department would have to complete an audit of security systems, although funding for the audit was not included in the bill.
By July 2015, security plans would be reviewed and decisions made on what upgrades are needed.
State Rep. Roberta Willis, D-Salisbury, said she understands more steps may be necessary.
"I recognize some schools really could use additional support services. This will hopefully address some of those concerns," Willis said.
In testimony previously submitted to the committee, Barbara O'Connor, The University of Connecticut's police chief, said UConn supports trained threat assessment teams.
"UConn has trained its team in the past and is currently in the process of scheduling a nationally recognized expert to come to campus to provide additional training," O'Connor said.
However, her suggestion that behavioral intervention teams also be formed was not included in the bill.
"Since the mass murders at Virginia Tech, colleges and universities across the country have implemented some form of behavioral intervention teams. There are recognized best practices on the composition of such teams, and I am not aware any that recommend participation of students," O'Connor told the committee during a public hearing.

© ® The Nobel Foundation
IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
Coral reefs represent one of the most important natural resources of many tropical
islands. They are a source of food, beach sand, and building materials and function
as natural breakwaters along the coasts of many tropical islands. They also
provide habitats for many marine animals and reef fish and generate significant
revenues for many small island economies through avenues such as tourism (e.g.,
snorkeling and scuba diving). On many islands, coral reefs are facing severe
threats from climate- and non-climate-related stressors. The total areal extent
of living coral reefs has been estimated at about 255,000-1,500,000 km2
(Spalding and Grenfell, 1997), of which 58% are considered at risk from human
activities, according to a global assessment (Bryant et al., 1997).
Owing to their narrow temperature tolerances, some species of corals currently
live at or near their thermal limits (Goreau, 1992; IPCC, 1998). SST projections
(based on three variants of the Max Planck Institute ECHAM and CSIRO GCMs) suggest
that the thermal tolerance of reef-building corals will be exceeded within the
next few decades. Moreover, the incidence of bleaching will rise rapidly, with
the rate of increase highest in the Caribbean and slowest in the central Pacific
region (Hoegh-Guldberg, 1999).
There is now substantial evidence that indicates that "episodic" warming of
the ocean surface, as occurs in El Niño years, leads to significant coral
bleaching (Brown and Ogden, 1993; Glynn, 1993; Goreau and Hayes, 1994; Wilkinson
and Buddemeier, 1994; Brown, 1997a,b; CARICOMP, 1997; Goreau et al.,
1997). The major coral bleaching episodes in the past 20 years were found to
be associated with periods when ocean temperature were about 1°C higher
than the summer maximum. It also has been suggested that bleaching events could
occur annually in most tropical oceans in the next 30-50 years (Hoegh-Guldberg,
1999). Bleaching was particularly severe and widespread during the period of
the most recent El Niño episode of 1997-1998, which was considered to
be the most intense such event on record. On some islands, more than 90% of
all live reefs have been affected (Goreau and Hayes, 1994), with branching species
generally most severely impacted (Wilkinson 1998, 1999). An assessment of the
literature on coral bleaching is provided in Chapter 6.
The impact of increasing CO2 concentrations in the oceans on coral
reefs is now the focus of an emerging though as yet unresolved debate. Since
publication of the SAR and the Special Report on Regional Impacts of Climate
Change (IPCC, 1998), it has been suggested that the ability of reef plants
and animals to make the limestone skeletons that build the reefs is being reduced
by rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Indeed, some authors suggest
that based on projected CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, the
calcification rate of corals would decline by approximately 14-30% by 2050 (Gattuso
et al., 1999; Kleypas et al., 1999). Again, see Chapter
6 for a full evaluation of the main issues in this debate.
Chapter 6 points out that earlier IPCC assessments have concluded that the
threat of sea-level rise to reefs (as opposed to reef islands) is negligible.
This conclusion was based on projected rates of global sea-level rise from Warrick
et al. (1996) on the order of 2-9 mm yr-1 over the next 100
years. It has been suggested that healthy reef flats will be able to keep pace
with projected sea-level rise, given an approximate upper limit of vertical
reef growth during the Holocene of 10 mm yr-1 (Schlager, 1999). However,
the prognosis is far less positive in many small island states (e.g., in the
Caribbean Sea and the Indian Ocean), where reef structures have been weakened
by a variety of anthropogenic stresses. This concern also is applicable to many
island countries, where reefs in close proximity to major settlements have been
severely stressed. The ability of reefs to keep pace with sea-level rise also
will be adversely affected by more frequent coral bleaching episodes and by
reduced calcification rates resulting from higher CO2 concentrations.

Project to use landfill gas to generate power
Within the next year, gas generated by the regional landfill will be converted to fire an electric generator, putting 'green' power on the grid, an official said.
The landfill, located on the line between Clay and Oktibbeha counties and operated by Golden Triangle Regional Solid Waste Management Authority, will be home to the first landfill-gas-to-electric project in Mississippi, said the solid waste authority's executive director, Jimmy Sloan.
"We'll be making green power and putting it on the grid," Sloan said.
Landfill gas is approximately 50 percent methane and 50 carbon dioxide, he said.
Sloan explained the method by which the gas will be captured and converted to use.
Equipment will be used to remove the moisture from the methane and compress it slightly before being used as fuel for the generator. Landfill gas contains high levels of moisture, which makes the gas difficult to burn and is corrosive.
Officials installed a gas collection control system in 2009 at the landfill on the part of the landfill which is filled out, he said. The system will be expanded as other parts of the landfill are finished. The system consists of gas extraction wells which have valves.
Then, the wells are fed to a header pipe. This pipe is connected to a blower flare skid, basically pulling the gas out of the landfill by use of a vacuum, Sloan said.
Currently the gas gets burned off at the flare, he said. "What will be doing with the new project is diverting it from the flare to the generator," he said, adding there may be times both the flare and the generator could be burning.
The flare project was completed to generate carbon credits to reduce the carbon footprint, but doing just flaring wastes the energy value in the gas, Sloan said.
The generator will be on a site on landfill property in Clay County.
TVA will purchase the power created by the 999 kilowatt-per-hour capacity generator via 4-County Electric Power Association. This would generate enough to power in a 24-hour period to cover the electricity 18 typical family homes would use in a month, according to 4-County officials.
TVA approved the project Oct. 8.
Bids will be opened Friday on the generator.
"It's got about a seven-or-eight month lead time so it's critical to get it bid early," Sloan said.
Officials hope to get the generator operational in August.
The project is taking place under the TVA Generation Partners program, officials said in a statement.
"TVA is excited this project will add Mississippi renewable energy to the TVA system. These projects help TVA and 4-County provide local renewable energy while supporting the local economy," said David Sparks, Mississippi manager of energy efficiency and demand response for TVA.
"The electric power industry is at a crossroads right now, trying to find ways to reduce carbon emissions while continuing to provide enough electricity to meet growing demand. Renewable power will play a bigger and bigger role in the way electricity is generated. We are glad to be able to be a part of something that will help our members and their communities as well as the environment," said Joe Cade, 4-County CEO and general manager.
Sloan also made comments in the statement.
"The Board of Commissioners and staff of the Solid Waste Authority are very excited for the opportunity to partner with TVA and 4-County through the Generation Partners program. ... This project involves a significant investment for the Authority but likewise has the potential to provide a significant return," Sloan said.
He continued: "All revenue streams assist in our efforts to maintain a low tipping fee for disposal of solid waste, and have a direct impact on the costs borne by the businesses, industries and citizens of the six-county Golden Triangle region. Maintaining low cost helps the businesses within the region to remain competitive any time, but especially during uncertain economic times. The Board has demonstrated vision and forward thinking in allowing pursuit of such a major project and should be commended for their efforts."
The solid waste authority serves Clay, Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Choctaw, Noxubee and Webster counties.

The team will then devise an effective plan to help you reach your desired outcome. If you are facing any of the following problems or have questions or concerns regarding any bankruptcy situation, do not hesitate to contact a Rancho Cucamonga bankruptcy lawyer from their team to learn more! Chapter 7 Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation bankruptcy, or a complete bankruptcy. When you file for Chapter 7, all non-secured debts will be discharged and you will be given the chance to gain a fresh financial start on your future. Chapter 13 When you file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can still keep your home, car and other personal belongings. Instead of liquidating assets, you will work with the bankruptcy court to adjust your payments on your debts and make small payments toward paying off loans. Debt Settlement Debt settlement can be a valid option for individuals to repay debts in a timely manner. When you plan to use settlement, you will work with a creditor to reach an agreement for a reduced balance that will be paid off. When this balance is paid, the payment will be regarded as paid in full. Discharging Debt Filing for bankruptcy can be a great way to discharge debt . When you file, almost all non-secured debt can be eliminated. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your discharge can happen within months after filing and in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, discharge will happen when all payments are complete. Foreclosure Defense Did you know that filing for bankruptcy can actually provide relief to foreclosure? If you are facing foreclosure or the foreclosure process has already begun, you can file for bankruptcy and put an immediate halt on the foreclosure process. Short Sales Short sales can be an option for individuals facing high amounts of debt. Many people who decide to act on a short sale do so because their property values are decreasing and their mortgages are saying the same. In a short sale, you can eliminate your mortgage debt and not be penalized. Alternatives to Bankruptcy There are many alternatives to filing for bankruptcy. If you do not qualify or you are seeking a different route than a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, speak with a trusted attorney from Atlantis Law to determine the best option for you. Bankruptcy and Credit Scores While filing for bankruptcy can be a great option, it will impact your credit score . Depending on the chapter that you file under, your credit could reflect a bankruptcy for up to 10 years. Learn how to rebuild your credit after bankruptcy by working with Atlantis Law. Wage Garnishment and Bank Levies Wage garnishing and bank levies are a legal source of reducing your income in order to pay a debt. Lenders can go to a court to receive an order that will begin to withhold wages or freeze bank accounts of consumers. If you are facing any of these complications, you may consider filing for bankruptcy. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Did you know that it is illegal for a creditor or collector to continually call you and harass you? All collection attempts must abide by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If you feel your rights are being violated by a collector, you need to work with an attorney. Do I qualify for bankruptcy? In order to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you will need to take the bankruptcy means test . This test will determine your disposable income and help determine which chapter of bankruptcy may be right for you to file under. An attorney from Atlantis Law can help! What can I keep in bankruptcy? Many people feel concerned that filing for bankruptcy will mean that they will automatically lose everything; however, this is not always the case. There are certain items that you can retain and others that need to be sold. Working with Atlantis Law can help determine what you can keep in bankruptcy. Contact Atlantis Law today!

Briefcase most likely not linked to Zahra
What could have been a significant piece of evidence in the Zahra Baker case is now, most likely, a dead end.
Hickory Police Maj. Clyde Deal said Friday that a briefcase and blanket found Tuesday in Caldwell County probably isn't related to the 10-year-old disabled girl's death.
"We're looking into it, but it's not at the top of the list, because it's more than likely not related to the case," Deal said.
Loggers located the briefcase at 10 a.m. Tuesday about a quarter-mile off Christie Road in Lenoir. The site was previously a place of interest for investigators, who located a bone and Zahra's prosthetic leg near that area during the course of the investigation.
The briefcase contained a blanket and was wet and cold from exposure to the elements, Deal said. HPD retained possession of the briefcase after it was found Tuesday, and the briefcase was sent to a crime lab for further investigation.
Although Deal said it's unlikely the briefcase is related to the Zahra investigation, it's not too late to add evidence to the department's case. HPD submitted a prosecution summary to the District Attorney's Office in December, but that document is only a portion of investigators' findings.
Deal said the "full-blown case" file amounts to more than 10,000 pages of findings in the investigation.

Icelandic Designer wins Forum Aid Prize
The Icelandic Designer Katrín Ólína was handed over the Forum Aid Prize earlier this week for her Cristal Bar interior design in Hong Kong. The Forum Aid Prize is among the most renowned within design and architecture.The prize is granted during the Stockholm Furniture Fair and Stockholm Design Week which formally starts today, the 5th February.
In recent years design has grown into being a vital part of Icelandic modern culture and identity. Icelandic design often draws on the island's unique geology, national traditions and individualism, which is one of the distinct characteristics of Icelanders. At the same time, due to high level of international education of Icelandic designers and architects, Icelandic design is simultaneously very international as well as local.
Katrin Olina is the second Icelandic designer to win a recognized prize this year. Steinunn Sigurdardottir, fashion designer, with her label STEiNUNN, was granted the respected Nordic Söderberg prize for fashion design in 2008. Katrin Olina's and Steinunn's accomplishments serve as a great encouragement for Icelandic designers and architects in general.

BCTC helps out for the holidays
Faculty and staff at Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) are showing their holiday spirit this Christmas season by participating in several programs to help less fortunate children and families.
The Santa's Kids program provided gifts to 130 children whose parents are enrolled in the BCTC Ready to Work program. This is an annual event in which the staff of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) office in Versailles participates as well. Ready to Work/Work and Learn is a partnership between the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and KCTCS to promote the success of low income student parents on the community and technical college campuses and Adult Education.
"One of our Ready to Work students stated that the gifts chosen for her child would
be her Christmas this year," said Ellen Biddle, Ready to Work coordinator for BCTC's
Cooper Dr., Newtown and Winchester campuses. "That's why we do this. We'd never want
a child to wake up on Christmas with no gifts under the tree."
Additionally, BCTC assisted with a project for God's Pantry and took part in the Circle of Love, which also provided gifts for children. The project is a joint effort between BCTC and the University of Kentucky.
BCTC's Winchester campus faculty and staff pitched in to help children in Clark County by buying gifts and having an Angel Tree wrapping party.

Smart Money
Fund: Noventi
Posted by marcog on 2008-06-21
From my personal experience, I cannot think of better people than Giacomo and James to contribute to your startup. Giacomo invested in two of my companies and was Chairman of the Board in both. He was always there in good times, in bad times, or just to guide me but without being invasive. He always respected my decisions and we were in disagreement several times but never imposed on us. I learned how to run a company from his vast experience and his desire to share what he knows. I know that they have helped many other entrepreneurs and when I hear about "smart" money, these are the people that come to mind. I encourage any entrepreneur looking for "smart" money to pitch to Noventi.PRIVATE: Members Only

Multiple reports this off-season suggest Arizona is seeking a young shortstop, plus pitching, in a deal for Upton.
Last summer, I was told Upton would cost the Mets at least Jon Niese. I see reports linking Tampa to Arizona with names like James Shields and infield prospect Hak-Ju Lee. The Rangers seem unwilling to deal Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar, as they should be. If this is the case, if this the range, I'm not sure what the Mets would need to do to compete with these packages, assuming they're even interested Frankly, at least so far, I have not hear any rumblings that the Mets and D-Backs have talked about Upton, though I do think the two sides have talked outfielders in some capacity. Ruben Tejada and Niese would be way too much. The Mets do have Wilmer Flores, but most experts know his future is not at shortstop, even though he's played there most of his young career. Plus, he's not ready, and it seems Arizona is looking for immediate help and more of a sure thing. Right now, I don't see a match, do you?
To leave a voice mail to be used on the next MetsBlog Podcast with your best trade proposal, thoughts on Upton or trading Niese and Tejada, leave a message at (860) 245-9851.

Britain In Pictures
British Chess is a picture book containing information almost available nowhere else. It has the first chess man, the first chess board, the first chess picture, the first chess diagram.
British Chess
David Bronstein was a chess grandmaster and one of the strongest players in the world. In this sharp and provocative essay, the authors explain their concern regarding the increasingly sport oriented nature of chess, in which the result is all-important, to the detriment of chess as an art form and as an element of culture.
Chess in the Eighties
With Chapters by B. Goulding Brown and H. Golombek
Among the papers left by the late H. J. R. Murray was the typeset of A Short History of Chess which he wrote in 1917. This was not an abridgment of the standard work he had published some years earlier but a new and original brief history of the game from its beginnings until 1866. It has been brought up to date by Mr. B. Goulding Brown and Mr. Harry Golombek, covering the periods from 1866 to almost the present including the modern World Championships.
A Short History of Chess
Whenever any grandmaster of chess is asked the question "Which chess book helped you the most" or "To what book do you most attribute your success", the answer is almost always the same. All or almost all grandmasters say there is one book that stands above all others in leading to success over the board. The name of that book is: International Grandmasters Chess Tournament Zurich 1953 by David Bronstein, which is reprinted here under the more commonly used title of World Chess Championship Candidates Tournament Zurich 1953.

Hilbert, collected now for the first time.

>Francois-Andre Danican Philidor (1726-1795) is widely regarded as the strongest chess player ever in history prior to the modern era. He was so much better than any of his contemporaries that it is impossible for us to know how good he really was. The edition of the book that is reprinted here was published in 1871 by C. Sanson. This shows that the original Philidor book was still the standard work on the subject one hundred years after it was first written.

Kasparov vs. Karpov - 1975-1985
This volume concentrates on the first two of those matches. The epic 1984/85 contest which was lasted six months before being controversially halted "without result" by the then President of FIDE Florencio Campomanes. The 1985 match when Kasparov brilliantly won the final game to take the title and become - at the age of 22 - the youngest ever world champion. Great chess contests have often had resonances extending beyond the 64 squares. The Fischer v Spassky match was played during the Cold War with both champions being perceived as the finest products of their respective ideologies.

A Century of Chess Evolution
This book is one of the great classics of chess literature. The author, Imre Konig, was an International Master of Chess and a great analyst as well as an entertaining writer. He describes the development of chess opening theory and discusses lines of play no longer in vogue but which remain powerful weapons for the practical tournament player.This book was originally published in 1950 as ''Chess from Morphy to Botwinnik''.
Chess from Morphy to Botvinnik
One of the most extraordinary books ever written about chess and chessplayers, this authoritative study goes well beyond a lucid explanation of how today's chessmasters and tournament players are rated. Twenty years' research and practice produce a wealth of thought-provoking and hitherto unpublished material on the nature and development of high-level talent.

Revolution in the 1970s
This book is the first in a brand new series that follows on from My Great Predecessors and sees chess legend Garry Kasparov reflecting on a pivotal time in chess history. Bobby Fischer's spurt towards the chess summit (1970-1972) marked the approach of a new era affecting all aspects of the game and opening theory in particular.

Capablanca's Chess Career
This is the first of a projected two volume series and describes the four visits made by Capablanca to the UK in 1911, 1913, 1919 and 1920. On each visit Capablanca played simultaneous displays against local enthusiasts. The first two visits were relatively short and exhibitions were confined to London and Birmingham but in 1919, following his triumph at the Hastings Victory Congress, the Cuban went "on tour" and played in 36 displays in English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish cities. In 1920 he played at Bristol and Woolwich as part of a European tour.
Dr Fiala's research has unearthed 123 of Capablanca's simultaneous games, many never published in book form before, together with descriptions of the events taken from local newspapers of the time. This carefully researched book will be of interest to chess historians.
Capablanca in the United Kingdom - 1911 - 1920
The book is in three parts, the first of which tells of matches for the WorldChampionship, of decisive games, of combinations, problems and studies on the chess board, and of the unusual properties of the board and pieces. Part two deals with a currently fashionable topic, 'The Computer at the Chess Board', and in the third part of WorldChampion Annotates fifteen of the best games, many of which are from recent events and may be unfamiliar to the Western readers.
